62A Market Street, Essendon

Subscribe to regular market updates. One of increasingly few period residences to grace the Mar Lodge Estate, this north-facing classic offers outstanding potential to harness charm and revamp or start anew with a single luxury home to rival Essendon’s very best (STCA). With a 20.4m frontage (approx.) to leave a lasting impression on tightly held Market Street, an endearing façade and retro interiors offer a cosy, charming snapshot of yesteryear. Three generous bedrooms are joined by ample storage and a modern bathroom with a bathtub, while living and dining areas wrap around to a kitchen with timber cabinetry and Bosch/Asko appliances. A substantial backyard faces north to be brilliant for a pool in a new home or renovation, while other highlights include a garage-turned-bungalow ideal as a retreat or workspace, solid timber floors, heating and cooling, a large laundry, second WC, carport for two, extra driveway parking, and further old-world details for a palpable sense of warmth. Among an Essendon enclave loved for its family atmosphere, quiet streets, rich history, and lifestyle appeal, it’s only footsteps to local tennis, football, and cricket clubs, Keilor Road shops and restaurants, vibrant North Essendon Village, and the 59 Tram winding to the city centre, with freeways, train stations, nature trails, and elite schools never more than moments away.
